Sam Rainsy's visit to the disputed Dey Kraham area of Phnom Penh

The following is a video of opposition leader Sam Rainsy's visit to the Dey Kraham area where the government have sold the land for development by the 7NG company. While some owners in this area have received compensations for their lost properties, home renters have been thrown out on the street and are told to vacate the area.

A majority of khmer people care for nothing but themselves. Most of them are unpatriotic. These people are easily be brainwashed and influenced by anything. Whenever there're problems, they tend to blame everyone else but themselves (blame the Thais, Vietnamese, Chinese, foreigners and God but themselves). They have to start taking responsibility. Don't just blame everything on Hun San (I know he's an asshole and a criminal too) or someone else, start blaming yourselves too. On an election day, you do have a choice. Why voted for Hun San the last time? Didn't you see your country is in such a bad shape? A begger state for more than 20 years is not enough? Look at the near by countries (China, Vietnam, etc), they're moving forward very quickly and these are communists states too! Look at your own country, not only it's not moving forward but for most parts, it's moving backward.

Hun San himeself is not a smart guy but with more than 200 advisors on his side, he's able to see your weaknesses. That's why he stays in power for so long. The pathetic thing is a lot of you still probably think Hun San is a hero, not a criminal.

If Sam Rainsy wants to defeat Hun San in the next election, he has to start changing the minds of the Cambodian people first especially the people in the country side. Re-educate these people. Show them all the bad pictures of Cambodia (poverty, corruptions, killings, etc). Show them the good pictures of other countries (eg. advancements, good government, high standard of living, freedom, etc). Show them how citizens' lives in these countries have improved. Remember Sam, at the end of the day, food on the table is what counts the most for most people. Don't talk about nonsense like nationalism, border issues, etc (keep that for yourself for now). Emphasize more on the economy in the area such as investments. Tell them how you can improve their lives by bringing more investments from abroad. How you can change their lives by producing goods and services and sell it abroad. Tell them how can you move the country forward by investing on technologies, change the current government and education systems, fighting corruptions, etc. You tell them by not just talking, but by printed materials, by videos, by pictures, etc and spread them all over the country. For instance, print Hang Pov's statements on government corruptions and killings and making sure that each and every Cambodian get a chance to read it by passing it around the country, advertise in the newspapers, magazines, billboards, etc. If Hun San can brainwash them, you can do the same too but the real different is you tell them the truth. To fight an enemy like Hun San, you have to be able to do that otherwise, you won't stand a chance for the next 30 years until after Hun San's death but by then Cambodia will have nothing left.

Khmers will see the day light, if and only we stand together and vote for Mr. Rainsy. Otherwise, we'll just have to go back to our old-poor self and never again will be able to lift our heads up or be normal. We'll just have to surrender to the fact that there will be darkness and we are a big loser.

Can we all happy or be able to smile and live with it? I'm Not.I'll cry Khmers A River.

SAM RAINSY IS FINISHED. Don't waste time trying to regain support to the point of ruling Camboland. It won't happen. As long as Hun Sen is around, Sam Rainsy is the under dog. Even if Hun Sen isn't around, Mr. Rainsy just doesn't have what it takes to be the ruler of Camboland. Time will tell. You will need the help of the royal family to join force with you to regain royalist supporters in Camboland, Canada, Australia, France, England, Germany, and USA.

No matter your comments are but you please concentrate of our country and citizen. Hun Sen does what!!!! He follows the Hanoi's lines. Illegal immegrants flow from VN daily, Hun Sen have never ever care about or talk over the issues. My suggestion is to care our land, children, so on..... even you are in different shoes.

Watch your mouth before you let some body put you down ok. Your family got new life from them too. You just born outside the beautiful land ,and lovely country. I quest before you die you always die alone you get no friend,because you are too much pessimestic the one you are believing. The khmer people have one like you Cambodia country won't has in the map.You talking good to your mom ok.

I hope you never have a pretty girl so you just got monkey to marry with that why you always jealousing with some body else rigth. You always hatting, racing, jealousing with the people,because you can't do like them. You will have short life the people like you.I believe you was born from cow or pig that why you crazy. I hope you make travele to some place, if you fligth the plane will crash, if you drive you will hit the post on the high way. I believe your mom very good person, just only you came don't get enough sperm. So you are the spermless people in the world.

You never blamed (USA) made new map for Siem asshole.I believe you never look at the new map on 1934-1937 and another one 1954 USA made for Siem. So you just look in situation,but you don't look in the past asshole.Cambodia country has the person like you the country will be collaption again.Before Cambodia country collaption i should kill you first. Don't let Cambodia country go back like in the past.

I think we all have an excellent forum where we all can express not only our constructive criticism but also insulting words. Actually, I am not in a position to judge which is better but I would humbly suggest that this forum should be wisedly used as a channel though which we have useful debates on how to contribute to the development of Cambodia. If we all just look at a particular angle but not looking around, we are just blind. I don't think it's time for us to say who is bad or good but it's time for us to ask ourselves how much I can do to help my people. For example, we should focus on education for our poor kids in Cambodia and for those who do not have a chance to go access acceptable education. And there ramains a lot undone and we,young generation, are required to fix it. However, the way we fix this society should be nonviolent, peaceful, harmonous, and importantly smart. Extreemism brings nothing but hazard and devastation to our innocent people.

Excellent idea about educating our Khmer children back home. Actually it's everyone task to push for education for all/most kids but we must understand that to get education is not so easy for the poor because the government which has the main responsibility is stealing, faking, lying, fooling and cheating with million $$$ that suppose to use for education. For us living a braod, we can not do much because we're struggling to feed the family too. But because the Khmer Government are corrupted and wasting too much money that's why we criticise them to change but they don't like the true laws of our country and international laws. They like to make up and change the laws to their advantage. The big guys never like to follow the law, only the powerless people that were forced to follow their rule. Hun Sen has enough time in power to make change but he just don't want to do because his big boss VN controls his regime for their benefits, NOt for Khmer's benefits.
